Cost of Living vs Salary wages

I have a very serious concern that I would like to point out here that has not been mentioned by any running presidential candidate to date. The issues that have been mentioned, yes, they are important issues.

But the most important issue that hasn’t been addressed is the most crucial to America, and that is our economy.

The serious rise in the cost of living and the reduction in salaries combined with a limited job market resulting from outsourcing of American jobs.

· The spread between lowered salaries and the ever-increasing cost of living is continuing to grow out of balance.

· American Corporations want to globalize the world (so they say); cutting their operating costs and taking advantage of the cheap labor overseas, while lowering job wages here and expecting the American people compete.

· Energy costs alone in the past year have gone up 27%. Food, gas and taxes have gone up equally if not doubled.

· The average yearly salary increase is maybe 3% (if any is given at all) and the American people are being burdened with all this.

· Government and corporations cannot have it both ways. America is in serious economic trouble.


This is the key survival of America today! This should be the #1 issue that needs to be addressed; the rest of the issues that are currently being addressed should be secondary.

Think this is political suicide? It shouldn’t be, it’s what the American people need and want and we the people who are the ones who are voting.


My perfect candidate to vote for will be the strongest that will not only address this issue but also make the changes that are so badly needed to get America back on course.
